Databox
The Databox Vision System is engineered to conduct inspections on both linear and 2D codes, such as pharmacode barcodes, as well as to verify characters through OCV/OCR on variable data. Additionally, it offers tailored inspections on packaging using its programmable measurement tool.
This comprehensive solution offers unparalleled inspection capabilities in a highly compact and miniaturized hardware design. Initially created for use in cartoning and labeling machinery, the Databox Vision System has expanded its functionalities to inspect components and manage product feeders and buffers.
Features include
The great evolutions are micro
Databox is a specialized vision inspection system tailored for labelers, cartoners, feeders, and buffers. Its primary function is to monitor 100% of products during the packaging phase, ensuring unparalleled production quality.
The HMI interface provides real-time feedback on each inspection. Even though every product unit undergoes scrutiny, the system efficiently identifies and discards any non-compliant items.
Databox is a comprehensive package, merging software with a sleek, compact hardware design. The robust industrial aluminum main unit, paired with an independent capacitive touchscreen, is complemented by mini camera enclosures that come with an in-built illuminator. This forms the core of the Databox system. Designed to be compatible with the latest packaging machines from various OEMs, Databox seamlessly integrates due to its advanced automation logic, all without compromising production velocity.

Accuracy, down to the finest details
Databox has the capability to monitor and verify both pharmacode barcodes and variable data. It ensures the integrity of the contents within both the box and the tray.
For packaging, Databox can conduct various checks, including:
- Scanning linear codes
- Reading 2D codes
- Validating OCV/OCR characters
Additionally, Databox can carry out specific inspections based on set parameters, such as:
- Ensuring all components are present in the box
- Checking for the presence, position, and alignment of labels
- Verifying the pharma code and ensuring the correct design orientation on flexible tubes
- Assessing the completeness of trays and nests, especially in feeding and buffer machinery.
Inspected products
Databox is engineered to verify non-sequential codes and information on packaging such as:
- Label prints
- Boxes
- Pamphlets and brochures
Additionally, Databox can conduct specialized inspections for:
- Compressible tubes
- Tray containers
- Nesting structures.
Designed to boost performances
The Databox system utilizes cameras to capture and process images. It measures values for each object and compares them to reference models. If a value deviates from the acceptable range, the system instantly signals the machine to discard the faulty blister.
This precise inspection is completed in mere milliseconds.
Such swift processing times are achieved due to Databox's unique SIMD instructions, created in-house, combined with intelligent proprietary algorithms. These algorithms are built on the principles of spatial and temporal parallelism and are optimized to maximize the potential of all available threads in the latest CPUs. Since threads split a CPU's core into multiple virtual cores, utilizing all of them enables the processor to handle several tasks simultaneously and more efficiently.
Consequently, Databox's algorithms can enhance their computational power, diminishing image processing durations, conducting more checks, and ensuring optimal inspection precision and safety.
Moreover, the system is adaptable, allowing for the integration of additional controls in the future.
The importance of good hardware
The Databox hardware components showcase a cutting-edge, compact design that leverages multicore and multithreaded processors. This ensures maximum processing speed and precise inspection.
The optical and lighting units are meticulously crafted and integrated to ensure the best inspection results, seamlessly blending with the machine's structural design. Thanks to the enhanced lighting control, images are captured swiftly and precisely.
The provided touch-screen monitors feature a refined graphical interface, enhancing user interaction and ease of use.
Security and Compliance
The system is tailor-made for the pharmaceutical sector and adheres to industry standards. User access is governed by FDA 21 CFR Part 11 and Annex 11 regulations. The software logs all significant security-related actions in an audit trail for transparency and tracking.
Ongoing software enhancements are in line with Gamp 5, ensuring consistent and superior product quality.
